Lighting question...
 

Currently I have a 250MH 14K hamilton bulb over my tank, Im wondering if because the 14K has blue in it, do I still need to attinic bulbs? Or will I be ok with just the MH and the moon lights(Moon lights run 24/7)
Thanks again guys!

Nvm. Apparently I'm still a joke on here.

actinic it is then! Thanks!

it does?

I wonder if smurf **** helps as well. lol

no need to add anymore blue, its mostly a looks thing. some people prefer a whiter spectrum while others prefer blue.

WRONG! there is no Par value to Actinic (420nm-450nm) so it does nothing but pop color.

To the OP
What bulb are you running? I used to run 2x 250w Phoenix 14k bulbs and didnt have any actinic. It still popped color and I got excellent growth!

You dont need to run actinic but if you wanted to I would go LED with Royal Blues.

Wow that's a good way to be friendly, and encouraging at the same time. Way to go.

Pardon me OP if I was in correct, but I had been told before that actinics aid and are primarily the light used for growth. I didn't claim to be right. Just my opinion. Sorry everyone that I made a simple mistake. No need to be rude though.

no, that's not what grows the corals at all. I don't have any actinic and I have only one Pheonix 14k 250 watt in my 75 gallons and my acroporas are growing 1 inch per month.

Yeah I corrected myself. I'll just remove the comment. Man.
